Question
In a school election between two nominees 'P' and 'Q',
12% of the total votes were considered invalid. If 'P' secured 60% of the valid votes and 'Q' received 21,120 valid votes, calculate the total number of votes polled.Solution
ATQ,
Let the total number of votes be '100n'
Number of valid votes = 0.88 × 100n = 88n
Number of valid votes received by 'Q' = 0.40 × 88n = 35.2n
So, 35.2n = 21,120
Or, n = 600
Therefore, total number of votes = 600 × 100 = 60,000

119.922% of 599.90 + (34.78/20.89) × √64.29 × 29.76 ÷ √24.92 = ?2 - 99.92
?% of 1499.89 + 54.14 × 8 = 25.05% of 5568.08
44.89% of 600.25 + (29.98 × 5.67) + (√1940 – 10.29) = ?2Â

177.05 = 25.06% of 3631.97 + 16.02% of 3750.08 – ?3Â
(14.66)2 + (343.84 ÷ 3.88 - 55.87) = ? + 91.23
? = 26.08 + 18.99 × 25.07
44.98% of 399.98 = ? x 19.98 - (39.98% of 2499.98)
(519.98 + ?) ÷ 13.01 = √440 + 20.0
